Connected Child Workshop

All families at times face struggles and difficulties, but for families who adopt or foster children who have come from the "hard places", those struggles and difficulties are often greatly increased in intensity and complexity.

Join us for an eight week study as we explore and discuss the material in Dr. Purvis' book The Connected Child and discover how to apply the principles of Trust Based Relational Intervention at home with foster, adoptive, or kinship children. This study is designed to help you change the way you relate to your child and bring healing to his or her heart.

Areas covered are:

Provide for your child holistically: body, soul and spirit

Understand what causes difficult behavior and how to respond to it

Replace your child's maladaptive survival skills

Identify and disarm your child's fear responses

Teach your child new life values

Navigate your personal challenges as a parent

Our classes are open to foster and adoptive families or families raising others children and any family or person interested in learning more about these strategies.
